Manchester City and Crystal Palace will both look to extend their unbeaten streaks when they clash at the Etihad Stadium this Saturday. The 2024/25 Premier League season returns this weekend with Gameweek 32, kicking off with an early afternoon showdown in Manchester.
The match will see two sides chasing European qualification go head-to-head, as Manchester City host Crystal Palace. City's hopes of defending their Premier League crown have all but faded this season, with inconsistency and a lack of momentum plaguing their campaign. The long-term knee injury to key midfielder Rodri has been a major setback, and Pep Guardiola's side now trails league leaders Liverpool by a staggering 21 points.
Manchester City Aim to Continue their Unbeaten Streak
With their UEFA Champions League journey also cut short, the FA Cup remains the only opportunity for silverware for the Citizens this season. In contrast, Crystal Palace endured a dismal start to the 2024/25 season, sparking doubts about whether Oliver Glasner's initial success at Selhurst Park was short-lived.
However, since Gameweek 12, the Eagles have been one of the most impressive sides in the league, losing just three of their last 18 Premier League fixtures.
This impressive turnaround has reignited their European ambitions, as they currently sit ten points behind fifth-placed Newcastle United. With a strong finish and potential slip-ups from teams above, Palace are hoping to close the gap and mount a late push for a European spot.
In the earlier meeting this season, Manchester City had to rally twice from behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.
